When Boss Chen parked the car and came back, Yang Liufang asked Li Tongfu if he had been here before. Boss Chen told him that it would not be that fast to apply for an ID card. It would take at least half a month. In this case, it would be 20 days before his friend came back from Wenzhou. Yang Liufang felt relieved after hearing this.
After Boss Chen finished counting the goods, Yang Liufang bought 10 bars of soap, 10 toothbrushes and 10 boxes of toothpaste, and told Boss Chen to try selling them himself. I also saw stationery in Boss Chen’s stall, so I picked a plastic pencil case with three compartments and magnetic suction. The pencil case had a portrait of the Monkey King printed on it.
From Wang Shan's father-in-law's village accountant, Yang Liufang received the order payment plus his own money, a total of 183 yuan and 60 cents. Yang Liufang planned his own funds and chose a lantern to give to the village chief Shitou. Please ask Boss Chen to buy him three packs of cigarettes and a pack of biscuits.
"Huh? Have you learned to smoke?"
"No, no, brother, I don't smoke. I'm going to give it away."
"Oh, making money is like a swallow pecking at mud, and spending money is like a river bursting its banks. Don't fix those bad habits."
"My brother taught me that I also know the pain of making money. So I won't."
Seeing that Yang Liufang's business is getting better and better, and he is sensible and purchasing more and more varieties, Boss Chen is very pleased and willing to help. When all the goods were ready and piled into a small pile, Yang Liufang paid Boss Chen, but the money was still not enough, so he could only owe another 20 yuan. After several times of picking up goods, I was already very familiar with it, and I felt relieved when I faced the boss Liu Fangchen. It was almost time for the market to get off work, and the loudspeaker was already urging the merchants to clean up and close their doors.
Yang Liufang hurriedly went to Boss Zhou to pay back the money he owed for clothes last time. When he came back, Boss Chen had closed the door and was waiting for him on a yellow croaker cart. The goods were neatly stacked on the yellow croaker cart. Boss Chen asked Yang Liufang to get on the Yellow Fish Car as soon as possible and take him to the station to catch the last bus to Yantan. Hurrying slowly, we finally stopped the bus at the station before it departed. Boss Chen helped Yang Liufang carry the goods on board, and then watched Yang Liufang get on the bus before riding away on a yellow croaker cart.
Maybe the driver was in a hurry to get off work, and there were few passengers on the bus. After leaving the city, the conductor asked the passengers on the bus: Are there any passengers getting off at the stations along the way? After getting the reply that no one was getting off the bus, the driver drove the bus very fast, so the road was bumpier than before. Yang Liufang could only hold the cargo with one arm and hold on to the front seat with one hand to maintain stability.
Just when it was dark, the bus arrived at Yantan Station. With the help of the driver, Yang Liufang moved the goods down one by one and placed them under the stop sign of the station. When he was looking down and worrying about how to move to the vegetable farmer's vegetable field, he heard a familiar voice:
"Brother Xiao Yang?" Yang Liufang hurriedly turned around and saw that it was the vegetable farmer uncle and his son walking towards him from the vegetable field.
"Hey, brother."
"Big, what a little brother Yang!" The vegetable farmer came over with his son.
"Hello, uncle!" Liu Fang said hello to the vegetable farmer and touched the little boy's head. "How's it going? Did you take the exam recently?"
"I passed the exam, brother Xiao Yang, but my tooth fell out during the exam, so I only came in second place."
"Oh, the second place is also very good! Brother will give you something good later."
"Buy this (so) much stuff?"
"Well, uncle, several villages are in need this time."
"Let's go, Sou (Uncle) will help you move over. After moving, you and Emeng (us) will go home for dinner." The vegetable farmer uncle said enthusiastically and without doubt.
"Okay, thank you, uncle." The little boy here has already picked up the bag of cooling oil with both hands.
"Brother, put it down and let me do it. This is too heavy."
"It's okay, I can move it, brother." The boy held a bag of cooling oil in his strong hands and walked to his vegetable patch. The vegetable farmer uncle and Yang Liufang separated the remaining goods, each carried half of the goods, and took two steps to catch up with the little boy.
The three of them put the medicines in the shack in the vegetable field in the dark. The vegetable farmer lit the kerosene lamp, took out the plastic sheet he slept on, put it on the ground at the end of the bed, and stacked the goods. Yang Liufang found the pencil case he had promised to buy for the little boy. Although the light was dim, the Monkey King on the pencil case was clearly visible, especially the golden hoop that shone brightly after reflection. The little boy was so happy that he took the pencil box and held it in his arms happily.
"Ouch, Xiao Yang, this is too expensive."
"It's okay uncle, this is our agreement."
"That's right!" Gawa agreed excitedly.
"Gawa, don't patronize me, please thank Brother Xiao Yang quickly."
"Thank you, brother."
"You're welcome, study hard!"
"Looks like he's used to it. Xiao Yang, I think these things of yours are quite valuable and it won't work if no one is watching. I'll ask Gawa to bring you food later."
"That's great, thank you uncle." Liu Fang thought of something, turned around and found a pack of cigarettes from the goods and gave it to the vegetable farmer. The uncle said nothing, so the two of them pushed back and forth for a long time, and finally Yang Liufang forced it on him, and the vegetable farmer accepted it sheepishly.
Soon after the vegetable farmer uncle and his son Gawa left, Gawa returned to deliver food. Inside the familiar rice bag is still Guokui, which is commonly eaten by Northwest people, along with a full bowl of vegetables, but it is also topped with a fried egg. Everyone in the world is kind, and reciprocating kindness is a bond of mutual trust between people. Yang Liufang took the rice and asked Gawa to eat it together. Gawa said that it was given to brother Yang by his mother and he would go home to eat. Yang Liufang didn't force it anymore and had a delicious meal after sending Gawa away. pause.
After dinner, he still went to the water tank to wash dishes. Yang Liufang wanted to take a bath with cold water again, but when he washed the dishes, he felt that the water was very cold, and he didn't dare to do it for fear of catching a cold. After a simple wash, he returned to the shack and was about to go to bed when the vegetable farmer's uncle came with a quilt. He was worried that Yang Liufang would be cold when sleeping with only a military coat on him at night, so he came to deliver a quilt. Afraid that Yang Liufang would be embarrassed, he also said that he had to cover the dishes by himself. The uncle was honest, kind-hearted and considerate. Yang Liufang thought that he would repay him in the future. After taking it, he put his military coat under him, covered himself with a quilt and slept on the maza bed. It was warm and comfortable, and he fell asleep quickly.
In the early morning, vendors from the city still came to collect vegetables, and Yang Liufang still got up early to help his uncle carry the vegetables, but the uncle refused. It was getting cold, and he was afraid that Yang Liufang would be exhausted and sweaty and would have no place to wash. Yang Liufang randomly took off his coat and moved shirtless with the uncle. The uncle could no longer refuse. After moving the vegetables to be sold today, the uncle returned home, and soon came back with a thermos of water and a washbasin, and asked Yang Liufang to wipe his body no matter what. Yang Liufang thanked her uncle, then went to the pool to scoop out half a basin of cold water, mixed some hot water from the thermos bottle, and washed herself clean in the cool autumn air, shivering.
Early the next morning, Yang Liufang woke up and was about to leave the shack when he saw a snakeskin bag containing fertilizer piled at the door. It was very heavy when he lifted it. When he opened it, he saw: tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, beans... ...Half a bag of vegetables was packed solidly. Yang Liufang thought that he forgot to load the car when collecting vegetables at night. He was so anxious and at a loss. He wanted to find the uncle but didn't know the way, so he had to wash up first. Unexpectedly, he just Walking to the pool, the uncle stood up from the eggplant field.
